Paris Saint-Germain 'looked at the possibility' of signing Mohamed Salah this summer
That's according to journalist Fabrizio Romano who claims the Egyptian was considered an immediate replacement for Kylian Mbappe should the French forward had moved to a new club.
Salah's contract situation remains unsolved, but negotiations are ongoing as Liverpool look to tie down the star player.
"Paris Saint-Germain were looking at this possibility [of signing Salah] earlier this summer, if they had the chance to sell Mbappe to Real Madrid," Romano said as a guest on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE.
“They were prepared to do something big and they wanted to try for Mo Salah. Liverpool had no intention to open any talks so it was just an idea.
"He still negotiating and from what I’m told he loves Liverpool, he loves the fans and the city. He’s really happy at Liverpool but the new contract is not agreed yet.
“I would keep an eye on many clubs if players like Mbappe move in the summer, but at this period, Liverpool’s priority will be to extend Mo Salah’s contract."
